Ok, who has the ugliest tow vehicle. You have to actually use the rig for towing your boat at least twice a season. Here is my contender. 1979 Suburban 3/4ton 4X4 with 455 Olds bored 30 over, flat top pistons. Turbo 400. All muscle and all ugly!http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/2121IMG_3895_Medium_.JPG

Heck, If I had known it would be this easy to win I would not have started to trim out the new fenders and hood. :boxed:

Yeah, I discovered that all that snow in the airfilter did nothing to promote internal compustion. Plus, Driving home from that camping trip got everything just warm enough to melt and refreeze and when I got to the off-ramp from the highway the throttle linkage was frozen. I had to shut the engine off to make the stop sign at the end of the ramp. I still have a wrinkle in my seat cover where my cheeks clenched while trying to complete that manuver. :crossx:

The 500 Caddy was a trick deal there for a while. Really nice when done well.

This baby was the real deal. Lazy-boy, miniture golf putting green, cheap trophy bolted on the hood, awesome spray paint, (Flames one one side and lady bug on the other), later added working propane BBQ, fringe drapes, the works!

LOL, never posted in this section, I don't think. If there was an ugly tow rig, this is one of 'em. I don't use it all the time, but does the job every now & then...:cool:

I actually had a disco ball, but we did not put it in. The TV deal is something that could be easily added. In fact, I do have this weekend free.

What Buzzz (Wannaberacing) forgot to mention was the candy dispenser and the number dispencer (you know, the "take a number please" thingies). Engine mods include new spark plugs and a new freeze plug to replace the one that had rusted through, and then broke through the JB weld that was used to patch it the first time.
